Epidemiology of injuries in British basketball: a retrospective cross-sectional study Open
Objectives To describe injury epidemiology in British basketball, assess sex-based differences and injury risk factors. Methods 122 athletes from British basketball leagues and national teams completed an online questionnaire collecting de…
Reducing Carbon Footprint and Costs in Microsuction: Literature Review and National Survey of ENT Practices Open
Background: In the UK, approximately 2.3 million people require intervention for earwax-related problems annually, with around 330,000 microsuction procedures performed within the NHS each year. In 2019, ENTUK published guidance on suction…
Vanilla planifolia: Artificial and Insect Pollination, Floral Guides and Volatiles Open
The natural pollinator of the major species of commercially-grown vanilla, Vanilla planifolia, is unknown, and the crop requires hand pollination to achieve significant levels of fruit set; however, the traditional technique (using a tooth…
Partial information transfer from peripheral visual streams to foveal visual streams is mediated through local primary visual circuits Open
A classic view holds that visual object recognition is driven through the what pathway in which perceptual features of increasing abstractness are computed in a sequence of different visual cortical regions. The cortical origin of this pat…

Neural Response to Low Energy and High Energy Foods in Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder: A Functional MRI Study Open
Objective Bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED) are eating disorders (EDs) characterized by recurrent binge eating (BE) episodes. Overlap exists between ED diagnostic groups, with BE episodes presenting one clinical feature …
The association between egocentric sexual networks and sexual meeting venues with PrEP conversation and encouragement for use among Latinx men who have sex with men Open
Despite the increasing availability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), Latinx men who have sex with men (LMSM) are not receiving PrEP-related information. To understand the influence of LMSM sexual networks on PrEP-related conversations a…

Neural Response to High and Low Energy Food Images in Anorexia Nervosa Open
To compare neural responses to high and low-energy food images in patients with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and an age-matched Healthy Control (HC) group. 25 adolescents with AN and 21 HCs completed a diagnostic interview, self-report questionna…
Pediatric Surgical Reentry Strategy Following the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Tiered and Balanced Approach Open
Background In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, children’s hospitals across the country postponed elective surgery beginning in March 2020. As projective curves flattened, administrators and surgeons sought to develop strategies to safely…
An investigation of the cognitive mechanisms underlying perception of facial expressions Open
This thesis was scanned from the print manuscript for digital preservation and is copyright the author. Researchers can access this thesis by asking their local university, institution or public library to make a request on their behalf. M…
Geographic Accessibility of HIV Preventive Services for Young Latino Men in Miami, Florida: A Cross-Sectional Study Open
The U.S. HIV incidence has decreased or stabilized among all subgroups except for young Latino men who have sex with men (YLMSM). Previous research has suggested that Latinos experience geographic accessibility barriers to YLMSM-friendly H…
Late disruption of central visual field disrupts peripheral perception of form and color Open
Evidence from neuroimaging and brain stimulation studies suggest that visual information about objects in the periphery is fed back to foveal retinotopic cortex in a separate representation that is essential for peripheral perception. The …
Foveal feedback supports peripheral perception of both object color and form Open
Evidence from neuroimaging and brain stimulation studies suggest that visual information about objects in the periphery is fed back to foveal retinotopic cortex in a separate representation that is essential for peripheral perception. The …
Meaningful patterns of information in the brain revealed through analysis of errors Open
Summary Great excitement has surrounded our ability to decode task information from human brain activity patterns, reinforcing the dominant view of the brain as an information processor. We tested a fundamental but overlooked assumption: t…
A humanness dimension to visual object coding in the brain Open
Neuroimaging studies investigating human object recognition have largely focused on a relatively small number of object categories, in particular, faces, bodies, scenes, and vehicles. More recent studies have taken a broader focus, investi…
Implicit violent imagery processing among fans and non-fans of music with violent themes Open
It is suggested that long-term exposure to violent media may decrease sensitivity to depictions of violence. However, it is unknown whether persistent exposure to music with violent themes affects implicit violent imagery processing. Using…
Moral Violations and the Experience of Disgust and Anger Open
Disgust is a natural defensive emotion that has evolved to protect against potential sources of contamination and has been recently linked to moral judgements in many studies. However, that people often report feelings of disgust when thin…
Conceptualising decision-making and its development: a phenomenographic analysis Open
A novel phenomenographic approach was used to examine how elite coaches conceptualise good decision-making and its development in football: An iterative analysis of participants' interviews revealed conceptions of decision-making ranging f…
Conceptualising and Measuring Student Disengagement in Higher Education: A Synthesis of the Literature Open
Much has been written about why students engage in academic studies at university, with less attention given to the concept of disengagement. Understanding the risks and factors associated with student disengagement from learning provides …
Neurogaming Technology Meets Neuroscience Education: A Cost-Effective, Scalable, and Highly Portable Undergraduate Teaching Laboratory for Neuroscience. Open
Active research-driven approaches that successfully incorporate new technology are known to catalyze student learning. Yet achieving these objectives in neuroscience education is especially challenging due to the prohibitive costs and tech…
Non-hierarchical Influence of Visual Form, Touch, and Position Cues on Embodiment, Agency, and Presence in Virtual Reality Open
The concept of self-representation is commonly decomposed into three component constructs (sense of embodiment, sense of agency, and sense of presence), and each is typically investigated separately across different experimental contexts. …
Feature-selective Attention in Frontoparietal Cortex: Multivoxel Codes Adjust to Prioritize Task-relevant Information Open
Human cognition is characterized by astounding flexibility, enabling us to select appropriate information according to the objectives of our current task. A circuit of frontal and parietal brain regions, often referred to as the frontopari…
Dichotomy Versus Continuum: Evidence for a More Complex Agency Model of Visual Object Categorisation Open
The neuroscience of visual object categorisation has revealed a number of spatially and temporally distinct neural representations of objects in the human brain, though has yet to sufficiently account for what factors or features the brain…
Disruption of Foveal Space Impairs Discrimination of Peripheral Objects Open
Visual space is retinotopically mapped such that peripheral objects are processed in a cortical region outside the region that represents central vision. Despite this well-known fact, neuroimaging studies have found information about perip…
